Any possibility that you could do something to stop all the annoying "oh, I see you are now friends with blah blah." text messages? As a separate mod or an add-on for this one, either way.

This will block those texts as well from Sims you haven't shared numbers with. I'm planning on a "phase two" mod that will retune some of those "drama nodes" as they are called as the cooldowns and times they can occur are pretty whacked imho.

Amazing, this was badly needed!!

Something I wondered, though, do active household members have each other's phone numbers when they move out? And how does this work with the family gossip calls introduced with parenthood? I ask, because those are actually the only calls I like.

Yay! No more calls//messages from a sim I met once at a party and only ever said hi to them because they were standing right there and butted into the conversation I was having with a more interesting sim. It's kind of funny too when they're the ones that message you all "hey I heard you've become friends with..." and their status with you is barely sitting at a 1/100.

Curious question though for current sessions, do sims that you're already friends with automatically get whitelisted? Or do I have to contact them before they are on the allow to pester me list?

A lot of my Sims are reclusive and constant phone calls are so disruptive so this is extremely useful to me! Thanks so much!

LOL! That caption on that first picture just got me ROTFL. XD That's my EXACT reaction when I get calls from landline telemarketers. I'm like "WHAT THE F do you want!? And why the F are you calling me at 3 or 4am? Do you realize what time it is, you dipstick!?"

I came back to say I played awhile this afternoon with the mod and it's working beautifully! I really missed some of the phone calls that were actually relevant after turning them all off with MC Command Center, but there were so many terrible ones plus all the calls from strangers that I would have gone nuts if I hadn't, but now it's so great to use this and only get calls from Sims that matter.

This is how Maxis should have programmed this feature to begin with and failed. Yet another instance of a modder coming to the rescue! Thank you again!

Great! No creepy callings anymore!
And here's the Chinese translation for strings.
Thank you very much!
